Nawaz Sharif’s return to Pakistan and his party’s mammoth rally have become the talk of the town in Pakistan.
However, PMLN opponents are annoyed with the VVIP protocol that Nawaz Sharif was given at Islamabad airport and in Lahore.
Earlier, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) strongly criticized the “VVIP protocol” provided to former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif upon his return to Pakistan, alleging that all federal and Punjab government resources were used to facilitate the return of a “convicted absconder.”
PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan expressed outrage that a convicted prisoner received VVIP protocol, including the use of the State Room at Islamabad Airport for his reception. He claimed that this treatment highlighted the destruction of Pakistan’s legal system by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
Khan also pointed out the contrast between Nawaz Sharif’s biometrics process at the airport and the treatment of Prime Minister Imran Khan during a similar process, suggesting a double standard in the treatment of the two leaders.
PTI senior leader Moonis Elahi criticized the unprecedented welcome given to a convicted absconder. He emphasized that court staff went to the airport to collect Nawaz Sharif’s biometric attendance, while Prime Minister Imran Khan was picked up from court when he was providing his biometrics.
Elahi alleged that the Punjab government instructed deputy commissioners to provide transport and ensure the attendance of government employees, particularly “patwaris,” for Nawaz Sharif’s return, highlighting the preparations made for his arrival.
PTI leaders accused the PML-N of using federal and Punjab government resources to orchestrate the return of a convicted absconder and claimed that the people of Lahore rejected the PML-N and Nawaz Sharif’s homecoming after his four-year self-imposed exile.
They also alleged that the establishment supported the PML-N’s call to gather people from across the country at the jalsa venue, Minar-i-Pakistan in Lahore.
PTI Central Punjab General Secretary Hammad Azhar noted that the crowd at the jalsa venue appeared disinterested and scattered.
